Numerous Christ followers fear they’re either not truly saved or that they’ve done something to somehow negate God’s grace. Not only do these fears keep us from fully experiencing the freedom and joy Christ died to give us. But it can also cause us to distance ourselves from God, withdraw from religious events or gatherings, or cause us to live as if our salvation depends on us rather than Christ’s finished work on the cross. When doubts regarding our eternal security rise up, may we remember we belong to El Shaddai, the All-Sufficient God who paid for our sin and fulfilled every righteous requirement on our behalf. We don’t have to strive to be enough because Christ in us is more than enough.

With so many traditions, travel, meals, and memories to be made, it can be easy to feel anxious and overwhelmed by what is ahead. However, God teaches us in Philippians not to worry about anything but to pray and share our petitions with Him with gratitude.
